In 2003, I had the same test since I lost my mother to breast and ovarian cancer and my family history reads like a horror book. I did not have the broken gene, but we don't know if my mom did or not. I went ahead and had a complete hysterectomy because I was having some warning signs and just couldn't take the chance. Had I had the broken gene, I would have had a complete breast removal and replacement. I would still have had the chance of getting breast cancer or, even now, cancer in my lower abdomen but my chances decreased immensely.
I'm tired of hearing about Jolie, but if it brings this to people's attention, it is a good thing.
